Amanda Draper - Mt Kilimanjaro 2012

Donate & share to show your support

My son was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 10. It is only because of cancer research that I am lucky enough to still have him today. As a single working mother (and foster mother) of six children I felt so lucky to be crowned the Banardos Mother of the Year for Western Australia in 2011. As a mother I have faced many challenges, but I believe that this challenge can help many other people who are not yet aware of cancer may affect them, or their families, in the future. Not only am I climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa to raise money to help find a cure for a cancer, but to do this I need to lose 25kg and get fit enough to complete this challenge.

Please help support me to support this charity. I would welcome any contribution, great or small, that you could make!

Cure Cancer Australia Foundation

Our funds have greatest impact in early career research, when different ideas and challenging perspectives burn brightest.

More Australians than ever before are being diagnosed with cancer. Finding ways to treat it is increasingly critical and research is the best weapon we have in the fight. But no-one can cure cancer by themselves. We need to work as a team.

It’s a huge task to raise the money we need for vital research and we can only do it with your help. You may choose to donate, fundraise via an existing event, join a Can Too Program, or create your own fundraising challenge or event. Whatever you choose, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
